I started by die cutting my key hole shape using the Classic Keyhole Template Die from FlourishesClassic White Cardstock. I then took my Versamark ink and stamped my image from the "Petals and Peace" stamp collection. I then sprinkled on some silver embossing powder and heat embossed my image. My beautiful GOLDEN ribbon is Flourishes "Color Made Easy", "Primrose" coloured seam binding from the Sunflower collection... so pretty! And the silver twine is also from Flourishes... Silver Metallic String.

I was shocked this morning when I went to visit Splitcoaststampers and I had a message from the talented Julie Warner indicating that I had been chosen for this week's "Featured Stamper Challenge"! What a shock... and an honour! I can't wait to check out the gallery all week to see what everyone has created by CASing my gallery there.

So today I thought I'd share a super fun card I created this week. I bought the new Bo Bunny "Snow Day" Collection filled with teal, grass green and rich dark purples... so pretty!

The Spirit of Love

To create my card I first cut the Spellbinder's "Labels 14" shape out of FlourishesClassic Ivory Cardstock and stamped my image from the retired stamp set, "A Gift For You" onto my cardstock. I used my all time favourite Memento "Black Tuxedo" ink. I then inked the edges of my cardstock, while still inside the die, with Ranger's "Old Paper" Distress Ink. I then coloured my image using a variety of colour coordinating Copic markers from the FlourishesCopic Collections.

I decorated the top of my die cut image using some of the FlourishesNEW "Color Made Easy" seam binding called "Delft Blue" from the True Blue collection. I added a fun gem to finish off the bow.

I also used the fabulous NEW "Color Made Easy" Cardstock Collection for my card base. I used the darkest blue form the "True Blue" cardstock collection. These packs of cardstock are wonderful and coordinate so well with their fabulous seam binding! Yum!

Thanks for stopping by today! Don't forget to stop by on Tuesday for a new Timeless TuesdayChallenge at Flourishes and I also have a creative surprise being revealed on December 1st! Stay tuned...

Howdy everyone! Welcome to the Timeless Tuesday Challenge at Flourishes!

This week the ever talented Broni is challenging us to create a card or project that makes you "HAPPY" (FTTC196)!

For my card this week I decided to highlight the "Happy Holidays" greeting from the Naturally Merry stamp set and nothing makes me HAPPIER than creating Christmas cards...

Happy Holidays

I first die cut my tag using the Spellbinders' "Grommet Tags" die set using Flourishes Classic White Cardstock. Then while my tag was still tucked in the die, I took some Ranger "Old Paper" Distress Ink and inked up the inner piece of the tag. Then I used the same ink and stamped some of the mini snowflakes from the Flourishes "Warm Winter Wishes" stamp collection all over my tag.
